    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 (and 384.13_2) are now available

    This happened to me for the first time on this update. In fact, at some point in the past I was away from my home for an extended period and upon returning, one of my Nest cameras would not stay connected to wifi. I thought the camera was at fault but I eventually logged in and saw that I needed...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 (and 384.13_2) are now available

    13 characters. Ever since your first suggestion to me, I've followed the same instructions every time I've had to factory reset: 8-16 characters, no special characters, never before used ID's and passwords (for both SSID/password and router login ID/password). I'm running out of witty SSID ideas lol

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 (and 384.13_2) are now available

    My mind is now officially blown. Went to log in to the admin page just to see if i could mess with some settings and figure out what's wrong with this thing and it wouldn't accept my password. 100% the correct password, had it written down in 2 separate places, would not accept it. Had to...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 (and 384.13_2) are now available

    Well, it was fun while it lasted. Same problems started happening again. So I factory reset again, created a whole new SSID, whole new password, both never used before, nothing but letters and numbers. Forgot the old network on every device, set every device back up on the new network...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 (and 384.13_2) are now available

    @L&LD First of all, thank you. Second of all, wow. I'm a total noob so I might just be easily impressed, but that worked completely. After I made my post, I turned my third Nest camera on that had been manually turned off since before the update. I realized that it too would not connect to the...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 (and 384.13_2) are now available

    Ever since this recent update, one device in my home seems to be randomly selected to get terrible wifi reception (<1 mbps down). Every other device on wifi will get the normal 150+ mbps. Maybe it's a simple setting that needs to be changed but I'm not sure what it could be. One constant is that...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 384.8 is now available

    AC5300 wouldn't connect to the internet after the update. Needed a factory reset to work again.

    5ghz Bands Suddenly not visible

    Now that it's been weeks, I wanted to share that I worked my magic and got amazon to trade me a new router. Now I just have to figure out how to set up this damn PIA so I can stop being DDoS'ed on PS4

    5ghz Bands Suddenly not visible

    oh wow ok thank you i didn't know that. I guess I'll give that a whirl. Seems like every time I try to fix something, two new problems appear.

    5ghz Bands Suddenly not visible

    lol i sure did. jumped the gun on that, went to amazon right after and realized i was ONE DAY past the return allowance, so now i'm stuck with this thing. Using Merlin 384.6, actually did a factory reset a few days ago to just start from scratch, when i pulled up the admin page after that, it...

    5ghz Bands Suddenly not visible

    So I've had the ASUS AC5300 router for about a month now with countless issues. The latest issue is that both my 5GHz-1 and 5GHz-2 bands have just fully disappeared from my list of available networks on all devices in my home. I have no idea why this happened. They have been visible and I have...
